Lauv : Bracelet Aaron Dingle Week : Day 7
~ Free Choice
Today would have been their first wedding anniversary. Taking a deep breath, Aaron pauses for a second before pushing open the garage door. There’s a heaviness in his heart. He had tried the whole day to ignore and pretend that today didn’t mean anything. It was futile.
He looks around before he goes to sit at the exact spot where they had exchanged their vows a year ago. He remembers how happy they were. How intense their love had been. How it all went wrong.
365 days. It felt just like yesterday and at the same time it felt like eons ago. Feelings have changed. But has it really? Confused, conflicted and full of questions. His thoughts are all over the place. He’s moved on, he doesn’t need Robert anymore. He’s with some else now. But Valentine’s Day will not go away. It keeps replaying in his head. Does he have regrets over what happened or what didn’t happen? What does he really want? Who does he want?
Aaron reaches into his pocket and pulls out a watch. The one that Robert thought was lost. He’d always kept it. Turning it around in his hands he can’t help but look at his finger where a wedding ring used to be. A wave of sadness washes over him. He straps the watch onto his wrist. Maybe it makes him feel close to Robert … like they’re still connected. It felt right. Aaron closes his eyes.
Didn’t know what I wanted I’ll admit that Still don’t know what I wanted I’ll be honest, I’m not ready to let you go I walk down memory lane late at night I end up losing my way every time I wake up missing you more Oh why did I say goodbye? I used to have you, now I have this bracelet I used to have you, now I have this bracelet I let you go but baby I’m gonna wear it Until I don’t need to Until I don’t need you All I know is I can’t face it I used to have you, now I have this bracelet I let you go but baby I’m gonna wear it Until I don’t need to Until I don’t need you Anyway I could toss it I’ll admit that That don’t mean that I need to keep you wrapped around my wrist Oh no And another day is passing by Oh I still need you And another day is passing by Oh I still need you All of these Melatonin tears I cry Oh I still need you (x2)
Missing you more oh why?
